Hello! Here's my quick review of Contra for the Xbox 360. While it's not the NES version and I cannot hold it against it, the NES version is simply better as far as gameplay goes.

However, for a casual afternoon with a friend, I can easily see myself playing through this with a friend because you can adjust the difficulty in this game; something that cannot be done in the NES version.

I'd give this game an 8.5/10 for the following reasons:

Pros:
*Accessible to new players due to difficulty adjustment and continues.
*Cheap (heck, it's only $2.50 right now).
*Short playthroughs - you can get through this entire game easily in under half an hour.
*Good replay value.

Cons:
*Shooting straight down while jumping in the air doesn't always seem to work. Jumping is certainly not as crisp as the NES version of the game.
